Everyone in this thread needs to STOP all the hating. The OP asked a question, and I answered honestly, no need to be jumping all over me. I realize that some of you think I'm somehow to blame...I do admit that I made some mistakes in my past and I probably should have payed more attention to my fiancé.
Everyone at work is going out tomorrow night to a bar and I think she's supposed to be there. I think I'll try talking to her again and test out how she'll handle it if I use my phone.
Also to the people who think that I'm disrespectful:
This is the future! Eventually we wont need to look down at our phone, we'll have helmets or something over our eyes so nobody will be able to tell that we're changing our background or rearraging our apps or playing a crossword, and THEN this problem will go away. It's just a temporary problem, technology just needs to catch up to the data that we're getting available to us.
Your going to test her? Dude you dont get it. She already knows you are hopeless and is why she isnt with you anymore. You are what you are. Addicted to a gadget and would rather play on that than be with Girls.
How sad for you!
Dude... speaking on behalf of females who LOVE gadgets ( I love my iPhone4) If you stopped during sex to frig around with some online game, I would take that phone and put it in the toilette.
That is just downright rude and inconsiderate. Also, you clearly have NEVER EVER gone through the effort to prepare a large meal for loved ones, because if you knew the effort that went into such and endeavour you would have NEVER have been so ignorant. It takes 4+ hours to prepare some of those thanksgiving meals, surely you could have put the phone down for 1 hour to enjoy all the work they did for everyone....
Just my two cents.
Sure you didn't have the same interests, but common courtesy, respect and kindness don't have to be separate from your interests in tech.
I have no sympathy for you. On the very day I got my iPhone 4 I had my parents visiting from across the country, and though my heart longed to touch and caress my new toy, I put the damn thing down within eyeshot and spent the next 4 days with minimal time on that device because that is what a courteous person would do.

No kidding, how irresponsible. If he was really giving his WeRule crops the proper attention, he would have known they would be ready to harvest soon and wouldn't have had to rely on a push notification in the first place. He was taking a BIG RISK having sex with his girlfriend at such a critical moment. Fortunately, everything turned out okay!
Hopefully, evilgreg has learned his lesson and won't let this type of crop neglect continue.
he'll probably try to use that as a way out/excuse
but nope he's just that big of a loser
The sex obviously wasn't good ... and it wasn't her fault I'm thinking.
To answer the OP: My wife and I have rules: no phones while eating together at home or at restaurants. If we have company they go away and if either wants sex, they better not even be near us.
Too perfect a response... Assuming OP is on the level, you need serious help chief...
ty for the compliment. I do for some reason suspect that the OP is a Troll, it just couldn't be real. Although the more I watch TV the more I realize that any level of stupidity is possible: Jackasses, KennyVSSpenny, Trailer park boys.. CNN... need I continue? LOL

"Some online game??" It was his WeRule crop! Can you imagine the disaster if he didn't harvest in time? His entire crop might have been lost!
I guess if evilgreg's We Rule crop wasn't harvested in time, he'd fall into a deep depression and couldn't go on living.
Update for everyone who seems to care about my situation:
I'm going to the bar with everyone from work tonight and she's going to be there too. I'm going to talk to her and find out if it was really what you are all saying about me. I'll ask her if she agrees with ur posts, I'll bring up the responses on my iphone and figure out if you're all as smart as you think you are.
I'll post back here over the weekend and let you all know.
Also I'm not addicted to WeRule anymore, that game got so old and FAST. But I still agree that what I said in my previous post that the technology just needs to catch up to the data and information we have right now. I guarantee that in a few years someone will invent something we can use that we wont have to take out a phone and look down, we will be able to have constant information flowing across everything we look at so we wont have to be ignoring people at dinner, we will be able to play games and chat with them at the same time.

Totally a troll. the way he weaves around the root cause of his "problem" is so well-orchestrated, it's not plausible.
Evilgreg has to be a troll.
Either that, or one of those fat, long haired, pimple faced, glasses wearing, comic book collecting retards. Lol, funny story though!

Don't worry. We're not.
Also, you may want to load up Angry Birds Halloween Edition on your iPhone before you go, if you haven't already. That way, you'll have something to do during the downtime while you're there. Those bar outings can be deadly dull sometimes.
I dunno why, but calling gadgets sexy creeps me out.
I love gadgets myself. I'm a girl. I keep my phone with me at all times but I was raised with manners and I feel human interaction is wayyy more important than playing on a stupid phone.
I just can't even fathom my boyfriend stopping sex to harvest crops on WeRule. I would be completely insulted and that would be the last thing he did on his phone. Pathetic. And now you don't even play the game anymore, lol.
I can't wait to hear what goes on when you see this girl this weekend, if you can out your phone down long enough to even talk to her.
